Everyone has a past.
Dana tried to outrun hers by moving to beautiful Lake Hope in search of a fresh
start. With her life at a crossroads, she must choose between a
life-alternating professional opportunity or address the undeniable distraction
she has to Jackson, a man with inked up muscles and smoldering intensity. Dana
has played this game before and felt its burn. To protect her heart, she knows
she should avoid temptation… even if he’s a painfully attractive one.

Jackson doesn’t talk
about what drew him to Destiny Falls. These days, he’s perfectly content living
the quiet life as a coffee shop manager. But one look at Dana, and he’s willing
to jeopardize his scars from the past being revealed to pursue the longings of
his heart. For her, he will face his demons head-on.

Will both their
pasts blind them to a future together? Or will the magnetic possibility of a
future together have them risk it all once again?
